addicted to the dark

What is it that makes it so hard to leave that place?

why do we stay here and complain about it?
even when we leave we still talk about being stuck in the hurt
when we are happy we keep it close and reference it

its the fact that without the bad there is no good

without no dark what is light?

without sad what is happy?

we care because its just as important as being happy
because it gives us a chance to feel good.


people are inspired to write books and poems and song about the dark
people quit jobs because of the dark
we do stupid things because of the dark


but


people are inspired to write books and poems and songs about happiness
people quit to seek out happiness
and we're all stupid sometime because of happiness or love

and sometimes too much caffeine



do we hate the dark or do we secretly love it?

we need the pain and we need the relief


we are all the dark
as we are all what isn't dark
